Ctrl + E stopped working, the save tabs option on exit is gone.

And there are semi-frequent freezes, thought this maybe due to flash.

I have gone to about:config to deal with the save tabs issue, but to no avail. Set browser.tabs.warnOnClose, browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart, browser.showQuitWarning to true.

Thought they tried to change "Ctrl+E" for panorama, and settled on "Ctrl+Shift+E" for panorama (pictures of tabs) which in turn wiped out an Adblock Plus short which in turn changed to "Ctrl+Shift+F"

Looks like "Ctrl+E" was made a dead short-cut and I doubt that it was accidental.

Use "Ctrl+K" for the Search Bar (similar to "Ctrl+L" for the location bar).

You about:config options are correctly spelled and true, make sure they are boolean and not string variables.

Check your Tools > Options > General > When Firefox starts: Show my home page

if you have previous session instead that could be a problem only in that it should be the same as always answering to save session.

Thanks, the Tools > Options.... thing helped fix the problem :)

Ctrl + K feels like a hassle to press though, compared to Ctrl + E.
